Monmouth Park Race 4 - Race 4 - Claiming
DENYING (2) was sent out favourite last time and scored by 0.3 lengths at this track (Dirt). Boasts three wins here. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Sure to be in the finish. CUPID'S DUDE (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he was never in contention over 1673m at Penn National, beaten 9 lengths into sixth. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including three wins. Faces an easier assignment so he will be hard to beat. SURPRISE PACKAGE (7) had been in top form landing two consecutive wins before a last-start third over 1609m at this track. Can bounce straight back. BRAVE BEAR (6) had been in sparkling form winning two races on end but missed the frame most recently when fourth over 1710m at this track (Dirt). Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Should give backers a sight.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by a 0.3 len at this track June 26 over 1710m defeating Tiger Moon with 55kg at $2.90. The run before that 2nd in a small field at this track on June 6 over 1710m, 1.0 len behind Brave Bear with 56kg at $1.60. Got the job done last time and is a leading hope again.

Form hard to fault. Returns from a 46-day let-up. Last start 3rd in a small field at this track on May 25 over 1609m, 6 len behind Two's A Crowd with 53.5kg at $6. Before that won by 1.75 len at Tampa Bay Downs May 1 over 1646m defeating Quistmer carrying 54kg at $4.40. This is well within his grasp.
